The B&B online booking portal: urbanbnb
In contrast to real estate agencies and many other providers, both Bed&Breakfast offers can be booked by urbanbnb
online booking portal.
Uncomplicated booking procedures for overnight accommodation are essential; particularly, for business travellers. They
can easily see available Bed & Breakfast offers just clicking of a mouse button and book it online. Requests for
availability of objects by e-mail and longer waiting time for confirmation mail as well as tough phone reachability
cannot be survival from our perspective. A telephone call backwards and forwards, requesting availability of the
apartments by e-mail and the tiresome waiting for confirmation is, in our opinion, no longer up to date. Urbanbnb pay
attention for these wishes. In comparison to the other providers and flat-sharing agencies, travellers can investigate
the transparent accommodation possibilities without any hidden costs and can book the offers directly. Additionally, our
female guests can delight in furnished rooms which are offered by female hosts in urbanbnb. These objects are reserved
specifically for female guests.
Urbanbnb is one of the largest Bed&Breakfast agencies in Europe. This business strategy as an alternative to hotels
originally derives from England. That is developing more and more into a great and affordable hotel alternative. This
type of accommodation is a clever way to keep your travelling costs lower especially in metropoles that accommodation
market is dominated by hotels.
Markus and Claudia Urban explain more advantages of urbanbnb: "We are more than 65% cheaper than a hotel. In
addition to this, we offer more space and comfort in our objects than a hotel room. Also, more family-friendly than
hotel. You are flexible to book 24 hours a day online. If you have no Internet access or can not check your emails, we
even offer a new service for you. We can manage accommodation offers and bookings via Whatsapp."
We receive more than 50% of the inquiries as a time slot from 2 to 12 months. Our guests being stayed in the city for
various reasons; from project manager to the guest lecturer at the university; many employees by insurance services and
bank employees. From craftsman who needs a room from Monday to Friday, to a job beginner who needs a place for the trial
time, or even actors and singers whose working in theatre, musical or opera. Even celebrities as well as professional
athletes from football, handball, etc. booked by urbanbnb. We have enough space for everybody.
Bed & Breakfast is the keyword, but breakfast is more likely to be offered in countryside and suburban areas.
Claudia Urban mentions that private rooms, «there is oft only bed “, are reserved by professionals. It is enough to a
get permission from host is enough to use the kitchen. Moreover, there are bakers, cafés etc. on every corner for a
quick breakfast.
Markus Urban also adds "This is another way of making a good deal for a for both sides; flat owner and guest".
Host benefits: He can dispose of his room or apartment at any time by willingly. E.g. his relatives or friends come to
visit or if he easily doesn't want to have any guests. Urbanbnb prepares the guest "be ready" for upcoming
guest’s arrival. The host only must hand over the keys and the guest needs to charge the accommodation costs if payment
has not been completed at the arrival.
Motivation for hosts?
"The typical tax-applied flat is included. There are hosts who need or want to sell their apartments in two years
and do not want to resign themselves to a permanent tenant. There are hosts who are living abroad but need the apartment
again after their return. And there are also hosts who had bad experiences with the German rental law and now prefer to
rent his places in this way".
